Alpha boost

Alpha magazine comes with a free Cadbury Boost bar this month. For a $2.50 magazine this is an excellent value giveaway – not that Alpha needs such a promotion to kick sales along. My only beef is the adhesive used to hold the Boost bar in place – they’re falling off.

    You’re one of the lucky ones. We never received them. Was this a metro only promotion or exclusive NewsExpress?

    Odd. It may be suburban newsagencies. Not aware of any marketing group connection.

    And as for the adhesive, this seems to be a problem with many giveaways attached like the boost bar. Publishers need to source an alternative to ensure quality control.
